Chapter 510: The Most Tangled Thing
Whether it is "the family world" or "the world" is really difficult to decide for a while.
The so-called family world is naturally the property of the state for a family, in which the patriarch of the family has the right to decide all affairs, from the high-ranking officials to the common people, from a piece of gravel to the most valuable things, are all owned by the patriarch of the family.
There are several sets of interpretation schemes in the world, including the sub-feudal system of Zhou Tianzi, and the joint governance of the world with scholars and doctors during the Song Dynasty. The division of the Zhou Chamber has proved to be undesirable so far, after all, after a long time, it will form a situation like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Song Dynasty's sharing the world with scholars and doctors seems to be a bit desirable, but it cannot be completely copied.
There are many other forms of government in modern times, but what kind of republic, parliamentary system and the like are obviously not suitable, and now it is really funny if there is a president, a chairman, and the like, and it is destined to have a shorter life than a king ruling the world.
Lu Zhe didn't know so much about politics, and he couldn't come up with a good plan for a while, but he came up with a relatively vague idea.
In fact, it is not impossible to pick out the good things in each system, and then integrate them, remove the contradictory things, add some things accordingly, and establish a set of systems that meet the actual situation.
It is quite important for the country to have a supreme ruler in China, and if there is no supreme figure, it is doomed that warlords everywhere will fight each other. There is a supreme ruler, but everything cannot be left to the ruler, there needs to be an institution that can control it, and at the same time, the "supremacy" of the ruler must also be limited, not the kind of situation where life and death are taken according to his preference.
If you want to have a general system of checks and balances, the restrictions on the king should be considered in detail, and at the same time, the rights of the checks and balances must also be carefully planned, otherwise you will definitely not be able to escape the noise. Engage in something like usurpation, and then start a scuffle over an incident of "improper position and bad name".
Constitutional monarchy? Honestly, it's feasible. However, the social environment that requires quite strict requirements, at least the education of the people under the rule should be fully rolled out, the literacy rate of the population under the rule should reach at least 60 percent, and the corresponding ideas about the responsibilities and obligations of each person must also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, otherwise in the end the emperor will become an ornament, and the affairs of the courtiers will definitely become warlords.
Any kind of system must have its corresponding social environment, and it is not who used what system in history to become a strong country. If you copy it without considering the actual situation in your country, you can become stronger. Strong countries cannot be replicated, and this point has been repeatedly confirmed even in the 21st century, otherwise the system implemented by the Yankees themselves can make the country strong and become a world hegemon, why is the Yankees' system not a mess in other countries?
Before Lu Zhe came up with a practical plan, he could only take his time.
The first thing to do is to emphasize the concept of "the sanctity of the law" again and again, and the other is that the concept of "the sanctity of private property" cannot be destroyed, and at the same time, the "clear distinction between rewards and punishments" must not be different.
The social environment could not be shaped in a moment, as evidenced in detail in the Qin reforms, for example, in order to determine the concept of the sanctity of the law. Qin Xiaogong's elder brother Yingquliang became a "sacrifice". If you want to do something, especially if you want to make the society go from acceptance to recognition, from recognition to deep into the bone marrow, there is no such thing as a quick fix.
Speaking of the law. LĂź Zhe then completely abolished the laws on crippling hands, broken feet, noses, etc., and replaced them with corresponding flogging and labor reform, and also revised some laws on joint sitting.
Qin's law is fierce, this is something that even the Qin people themselves think, but it can't be overkill. Punishment for doing something wrong is a kind of protection for good people, and not being punished for making a mistake is encouraging crime.
Lu Zhe's side is a new and rising force, and it is very important to maintain the stability of society. But a law that is too cruel can cause panic in people's hearts. Moreover, those many people who are willing to obey Lu Zhe's rule are not only able to obtain asylum, but also rely on the support of large and small interests, and enjoy the economic benefits, and the improvement of the law in the political project cannot be missing, so to improve the law that causes people to be disabled will definitely be able to buy a group of people's hearts.
Shusun Tong finally finished reading the benefits and obligations related to the title and medal, he saluted Lu Zhe, and after obtaining permission, he returned to his seat and sat down.
Yes, any benefit always has a corresponding obligation, which is the so-called give and receive. The harvest of any thing always needs to be paid, and what privileges are obtained and what price should be paid, which is a spirit and law similar to "contract".
Getting and giving, no one has any objection to this, which is also something that Chinese civilization has long recognized, but no one has ever said the term "contract spirit".
Waiting for the uncle and grandson to finish reading, almost everyone at the scene fell into a kind of excitement. This was the first time they confirmed that Lu Zhe intended to crown his subordinates as kings, and not to adopt the one that the Qin State was implementing.
What is the reason for the transformation of the Qin State from extreme prosperity to weakness, isn't it to deprive the courtiers of their desire to move upward? There is nothing in the county system itself, but it would be disappointing to use the form of law to determine that a person's efforts can be deprived by the emperor at will.
In fact, the king has always been able to deprive his courtiers of their achievements, which has always existed, but the Qin State was the first to want to use the form of law to publicly determine. It was the First Emperor who came to be the "first person" that would make the Qin State turn from prosperity to decline. After all, everything in the world is owned by the emperor, and it is too sad to determine it in the form of law.
Lu Zhe saw the excitement of most people, and he also saw the loss of so many people.
The lieutenant was awarded the title of first-class baron because of his meritorious service in guarding the northern border.
Mei Kai and Su Lie have repeatedly made military merits and were awarded the title of fifth-class baron.
The latter three people are all people who have been making mistakes in some things recently, the lieutenant is more complicated and has not yet been dealt with, and Mei Kai and Su Lie have already been dealt with according to military law.
The three of them had different feelings after hearing the reward, and they went out to work to receive the reward and take the oath, among which Mei Li and Su Lie were more excited.
Mei Kai had a reason to be excited, he had already figured out what kind of thing it was to give military power privately, and he was afraid that Lu Zhe would no longer trust him. Now, he has been duly rewarded according to his merits, and his official position has been promoted to a general because of his military merits, although it cannot be compared with the past, but at least it proves that Lu Zhe has no intention of abandoning it.
Su Lie's excitement is not too complicated, becoming a nobleman has always been his wish, how can he not be excited now that it has come true?
Some people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Zhe still adhered to the concept of rewarding meritorious service.
In fact, merit is rewarded as the most crucial part of maintaining rule, and merit must not be completely denied because someone has made a mistake, and certainly not because he has made a mistake.
Determining the sanctity of the law is something that Lu Zhe has to do with perseverance, as for whether the law is beneficial to the ruler, in fact, this is already a rule, after all, the law itself is formulated by the ruler, how can there be no inclination at all, as long as the law is formulated and the ruler himself abides by it, then there is nothing to criticize. That's a ruler, and it's pretty good to be able to restrain his power.
At this moment, Sima Xin is a first-class viscount, Gongwei, Ji Bu, and Luo Shao are first-class barons, Xiao He is a second-class baron, Kuaitong is a third-class baron, Zhou Wen is a fourth-class baron, He Yi and Mian Bi are fifth-class barons, and Wu Liang, Tang Jie, Xu Zhi, Wei Han and other twenty-eight people are lords. Among the lords, there are those who have been knighted for their military exploits, as well as those who have contributed to the civil affairs and other contributions. The other contributors are those who are working on technology.
It was not yet the era of Confucianism, and the discovery of new crafts and the invention of new technologies were a contribution that was strictly recognized, such as the Qin State and other countries rewarding "scientists" was not uncommon. At the same time, those who made outstanding contributions to the growth of national strength were also greatly rewarded, and the most famous was Zheng Guo, the Hou of Guannai, who was the one who built the Zheng Guo Canal.
Chaoyi is almost at the end, and all that remains is one topic, that is, their alliance with Wei and Han.
The location of the alliance has been determined, and it is a small city like Shen on the edge of Yingshui in Chen County. It is a well-developed transportation area, with Surabaya County to the east and Hengshan County and Jiujiang County to the south. The choice of prudence was made after special consideration, and it was of great significance that he wanted to use this alliance to deter the Qi State, which had the intention of annexing Wei and Han.
The initiator of the alliance is Wei Han, and it is difficult to invite other countries to join the alliance based on the actual situation of the two countries now, but it is different with Lu Zhe's existence.
This alliance is a time when there are nearly 40 years of non-union and there are countries holding an alliance, and it involves Wei and Han will officially become the protectorate of Lu Zhe, it stands to reason that there must be enough weight of the kings of the countries to witness the alliance, but now it is not the Spring and Autumn Period nor the Warring States, to be honest, the significance of the alliance is not too heavy, it is nothing more than to declare that the world Wei and Han are protected by Lu Zhe.
In today's situation, Lu Zhe has become a force that can control the world, so whether the countries that receive the invitation to the alliance are willing or not, even if the king is not present, he must at least send ministers at the level of the prime minister.
Zhao Chu and Lu Zhe have already confirmed their marriage, and at the same time, Zhao urgently needs assistance from Lu Zhe, and Chu is also eager to lift the state of war with Lu Zhe, Zhao Wang Xie and Chu King Xiong Xin have confirmed that they will drive horses and personally ally with them.
Lu Zhe, Zhao Xie, Xiong Xin, Wei Qi, and Han Cheng will meet, God knows if these five king-level figures will reach any agreement, so Qi and Yan should also think carefully about whether the king will go. (To be continued......)
